onzaskull Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 These pads are great! Ive had a set of CNC rockpads and theyve lasted me a year! great bite and hold with a nice sound! worth the buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 They're okay, I wouldn't reccomend them on a back but on a front they hold well. A lot of people run them on smooth rims but mine's on a light grind and it holds, noise isn't incredible but it's okay I suppose. Average pad.

Average pad. well i've heard a lot of different things about these pads. and i have already ordered them. and i'm going to use them at the rear. so what pad would you recommend? thanks. These pads are great! Ive had a set of CNC rockpads and theyve lasted me a year! great bite and hold with a nice sound! worth the buy! thank's for the review, do you think they would be suitable for the rear? I have already bought them. Do you have a vid of them in action? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzaskull Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I ran mine on the rear for quite a while, medium grind and pads set up squarley they were really good, Mine are now on the front as i find TNN LGM's better for me:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockman Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I changed from LGM to Rockpad and loved it, LGM would not work for me at all, I'd recommend them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmer579 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 iv bin impressed with rockman blues for the last 6 months untill today when one of mine exploded doing a small gap. ill be forking out the extra for some tnn pads from now on. altho this was probably a rare occurance, i would stay away from them if you can.

p_ruskin Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Get CNC ones and a harsh grind, they are the best pads i have ever used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well it depends what rim, why do people seem to ignore that! On rockman/try all square hole rear they where awsome for me but to loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaotic3vil Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Mine exploded too. But they are good pads! I changed the backings and they kept on going. Have mine for two years now. I don't use brakes very often but their grip never failed me. Mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will4eva7k Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I've gone through a lot of different pads, and these pads are probably the longest I've had on a bike. I've been using them front and rear, and work well for me. Definitely recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 hi everyone! i got my RockMan Blue pads today, and i got them on and just drove around in the snow. They are VERY loud!the bite isn't incredible, but the hold is quite good. but i can't say too much with a dead light grind and only 30 mins of riding...
